Both the journey and the destination are the stars of this Wild Food Adventure as you traverse the rocky, Martian-like mountain terrain from Dvin village before settling down to a 3-course traditionally grilled meal among the golden peaks of Yeranos. On the way, you’ll get a spectacular view of the Azat Reservoir not many get to experience, and get in touch with your inner adventurer! See the menu here.
